New Jersey Devils center Nico Hischier (13): (Catalina Fragoso-USA TODAY Sports)
The New Jersey Devils are once again without their captain Nico Hischier after he was hit in the face shield by a deflected slap shot off the stick of P.K. Subban. It was a fluke injury, but the Devils made it sound like the worst had been avoided since the puck hit Hischier’s shield and not his face. However, it’s days later, and Devils fans are getting a familiar response when reporters ask Lindy Ruff about his status.
